Internet

Well seeing as we have been in Honduras a month and have yet to post a blog, I feel that the first entry should be to explain why it has taken so long. In a nutshell, we have quite limited access to the internet. The house in which we are currently living is only a stone's throw away from Chris and Maria Rivera (the couple who started the church we came to help with) and while they have wireless internet either the signal is too weak to receive at our house or our computer, being older, is not strong enough to receive the signal. Now if we sit outside of the Rivera's we can connect to the internet, but there are 2 problems with this. One, mosquitoes. Enough said about that. Two, because the computer is older the battery does not last long enough to respond to emails or post blogs, you have to be sitting next to a plug in order to work for en extended period of time. The internet is also quite slow, so that when we do connect it takes a long time to upload pictures, or even for our email to load. There is also the problem that it only works when it isn't raining, which is rare here during this time of year. As you see that we have finally posted a blog, we have some rather makeshift solutions in place in order to accomplish this task. We are praying for a better solution so that we can also post pictures and update more frequently. We really want to post pictures and blog more often so that you can see and in some way be a part of what is going on here in Honduras, so please bear with us as we try to make this happen.
